What experience do you have working with…My specific concern? My age group? My particular cultural group?

Do you accept insurance? If so, what types of insurance?

Have you ever been sanctioned or disciplined by…Your graduate school or program? Any ethics board or state licensing board for professional psychology? The National Register of Health Service Psychologists? The American Psychological Association?

What techniques do you commonly use to help resolve an issue like mine?

Are there any special assessment techniques or questionnaires you use?

*Although these are important questions to ask, a psychologist’s answer to any particular question doesn’t necessarily mean they are either qualified or unqualified to provide good care. Rather than focusing on any one particular factor, it is important to consider a psychologist’s overall qualifications and your own feelings about a particular provider.
